Miguel Amaya - Tallies three hits in win Amaya went 3-for-4 with a triple, a run scored and two RBI in Monday's 9-2 win over the Athletics.
Impact Amaya batted ninth and did his part to contribute to Chicago's 18-hit barrage. The catcher recorded just his second triple of the season and snapped an 0-for-7 slump that extended over his last five appearances. Amaya has struggled to find a ton of offensive consistency this year, though his playing time alone gives him a decent amount of fantasy value at a thin position.

Pete Crow-Armstrong - Keeps rolling Monday Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Monday's 9-2 win over the Athletics.
Impact Crow-Armstrong extended his hitting streak to three games, and over his last 20 contests, the youngster is batting .319 with three home runs, 15 RBI and 18 runs scored. Crow-Armstrong is proving to be a dynamic offensive player with plenty of fantasy utility in his first full MLB season.

Isaac Paredes - Tallies three more hits Monday Paredes went 3-for-4 with two RBI in Monday's 9-2 win over the Athletics.
Impact For the second time in his last four games, Paredes recorded three hits. The infielder is batting a robust .483 over his last eight contests, and it looks like he's settling in with the Cubs after struggling initially following the trade that brought him to Chicago in July. Paredes has become a key cog in his new team's offensive attack lately.

Jorge López - Nearing return Lopez (groin) has rejoined the team and is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list within the new few days, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact Lopez will be eligible to be activated beginning Wednesday, so it appears he'll miss only the minimum after suffering a right groin strain. The right-hander put together a stellar month of August (0.87 ERA, 0.77 WHIP, 17 strikeouts and two saves over 10.1 innings) before getting rocked for four runs on four hits in his lone September outing prior to landing on the IL. Lopez should be in the mix for save chances upon his return along with Porter Hodge.

Impact Swanson is up to 17 steals on the year, with 10 of them coming since the start of August. He's batting .275 in that span, a vast improvement on his .235 average for the year. The shortstop has still offered decent counting stats with 14 home runs, 58 RBI, 72 runs scored and 23 doubles over 138 contests, but his .685 OPS is his lowest mark in a full season since 2017.
